New Study on Airsonett's TLA Technology Shows Substantial Allergen Reduction

Airsonett Temperature-controlled Laminar Airflow provides at least 99.95 % clean air from particles and allergens in the breathing zone, according to a new study presented at EAACI 2024

Ängelholm, Sweden, June 4, 2024 – Airsonett, a leading Swedish MedTech company, has announced significant findings from an independent technical study evaluating its Temperature-controlled Laminar Airflow (TLA) technology.

The study was presented at the EAACI Congress in Valencia, Spain, on May 31st. It demonstrates the significant efficacy of Airsonett's TLA technology in reducing airborne allergens such as cat dander, grass pollen, and house dust mite allergens in the breathing zone. The treatment is intended for patients suffering from allergic diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

Key Findings
• Particle Reduction: A mean reduction rate of between 99.95 % to 99.99 % for particles sized between 0.5 µm to 10 µm
• Cat Allergen (Fel d 1): Mean reduction rate: 99.95 % (from 39.96 ng/m³ to below 0.043 ng/m³)
• House Dust Mite Allergen (Der p 1): Mean reduction rate: 99.97 % (from 28.62 ng/m³ to below 0.337 ng/m³)
• Grass Pollen Allergen (Phl p 5): Mean reduction rate: 99.997 % (from 62.21 ng/m³ to below 0.423 ng/m³)

The results show a remarkable reduction in allergen levels, with the concentration of allergens in the breathing zone falling below detectable limits.

The study further strengthens earlier technical studies on particle removal. Previous studies on the effects of TLA have shown that reducing allergens and particles during sleep effectively enhances the quality of life and sleep for patients with allergic diseases, reduces asthma attacks (exacerbations), and improves asthma control. The treatment is also cost-efficient compared to pharmacological add-on treatment alternatives.

Statement from Airsonett's CEO:
"We are delighted with the results of this study, which confirms the efficacy of our TLA technology in significantly reducing airborne allergens in the breathing zone. The results are particularly impressive, considering that other allergen avoidance methods have been studied, but they have not shown similar results," said Anders Due-Boje, CEO of Airsonett.

 

About the study
The study, conducted by ALYATEC Clinical Research Center in Strasbourg, France, assessed TLA's capacity to purify the breathing zone by testing it against controlled concentrations of common allergens. Read the study here. See https://airsonett.eu/clinical-data/ for clinical data.

About the TLA treatment
TLA Treatment is given at home with the medical device Airsonett Air4. The technology creates a zone of at least 99.95 percent clean air, free of allergens and particles, around the patient's breathing area during sleep or rest. When the biological stress decreases during the night, the immune system and airways can rest and the patient gains better resistance to allergens also during the day.
TLA treatment is clinically proven effective. The treatment is prescribed by the healthcare system in Sweden and is the most prescribed treatment for patients with severe allergic asthma. The treatment is included in the national Swedish guidelines for asthma and in the Euforea Asthma Pocket Guide. Airsonett is currently launching the TLA treatment in selected markets in Europe.
